commercial, and industrial use and display the power and consumption readings
for each measurement point.
Configuration and Programming
The configuration tool is used to set any of the programmable parameters of the
PowerLogic EM4000/EM4800 Series meter. The combination of the configuration
tool and the state of the meter programming switches determine which parameters
can be set or changed. As shown in Figure 1, the programming switches are
two-position DIP switches labeled SW1, and are located inside the meter cover
below the Display button. To enable meter configuration, both switches must be
physically set to the ON (down) position (default).
Table 1 lists the programming capabilities associated with each parameter in
combination with the programming switches. After the meter has been
programmed, the programming switches can be turned OFF to prevent tampering
with metering parameters.
